    I'm pretty sure those are zoa's man.. Yellow polyps have those long wavy skirts. Theirs paly's (palythoa's) and zoanthids. Polyp just refers to a single zoo or paly. But I'm pretty sure most coral websites, stores, etc just put their own name on their zoa's depending on what color they are.. So I guess scadsobees is right, you could call them "pretty yellow zoa's" lol, or whatever else you like.
